Washington Retirement Home Neglect Attorneys
We trust nursing homes to take care of our loved ones. Too often, however, nursing homes neglect their residents or directly abuse them, causing serious injuries and even wrongful death. Victims and their families have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other expenses. An experienced lawyer can help maximize compensation.
At Swanson Gardner, P.L.L.C., in Renton, we have more than 25 years of experience holding nursing homes responsible for their negligence. We will see that you and your loved one get the necessary compensation, while sending the message to the nursing home that residents need to be treated with the utmost care.
Results in All Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Cases
Our attorneys are experienced in representing elderly people who have suffered:
- Bed sores, also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Falls
- Failure to monitor
- Failure to provide adequate therapy
- Medication errors
While individual staff members may be to blame, it is the nursing home itself that should be held responsible for hiring untrained staff or insufficient staff. For example, one staff member may have failed to properly move a patient to prevent a bed sore, but if that staff member failed to do what was required because he or she has been tasked with more duties than one staff member could reasonable accomplish, the home is at fault. Nursing homes that put their own profits before people's health and well-being must be held accountable.
